256. Chapter 256 What an irony
Overall, the production company is developing well, and Vladimir has targeted several small production companies, and can acquire them as long as the funds are in place.
In addition to the channels of small companies, the most important thing is to value their film library. These small companies have dozens to hundreds of film libraries, which is better to enrich their own film library.
Unfortunately, the truly valuable film library has long been divided up by big companies and studios, and Yunrong Film can only find some scraps to cut it off. Even if it collects thousands of movies, it may not necessarily be as valuable as others' 100 movies.
But Cyclone Film has to do this. It has talked about the value of film libraries before. If a film company wants to develop itself in the long run, it is necessary to have a certain number of film libraries.
Although the remaining movies are not worth a lot, there is always nothing to win, as long as the acquisition price is within an acceptable range, and this one is Vladimir to deal with.
Sean seems to be in a strange circle now, and his side jobs are developing well. Not to mention the development of the production company mentioned above, the single released has achieved results that many singers may not be able to achieve in their entire lives.
So far, this song "YouRaiseMeUp" has been in the top ten of the Billboard's top 100 for almost 19 weeks, and has been on the top for a full 17 weeks!
This is an amazing number, because before that, the one who stayed at the top of the Top 100 Billboard for the longest time was "OneSweetDay" collaborated by Mariah Carey and BoyzIIMen. After the song was released in November 1995, because one was a superstar and the other was a popular group, the strong cooperation quickly formed a chemical effect. After landing at the top of the list, it finally took 16 weeks to go down.
This record has been maintained and no one can surpass it. If nothing unexpected happens, it will continue to be maintained.
But Sean released "YouRaiseMeUp" in October last year, which was the most powerful time for him to flaunt his wings as a butterfly.
In the original time and space, this song "YouRaiseMeUp" was not released in North America as an Irish song, and naturally it has not been on the Billboard list. In addition, the song itself is not to commemorate 911, but Americans think it is very suitable for the feelings that need to be vented after listening to it, so they connect it together.
In addition, the song was released in the early 2002, and the wounds of 911 had been relieved with the destruction of the Taliban. Therefore, even though it spread to North America and was covered by many people, its influence was great, but it was not as great as it was against the will of heaven.
But now it’s different. Sean is now an American and a well-known actor. During the 9/11 incident, he was recognized and praised by many people for donating 5 million yuan in donations and then donating 7 million yuan one after another. He was also a single released shortly after the disaster and was specially produced to appease the people in China.
In this case, several factors work together, plus some unnecessary but contribute to the fuel. For example, although Sean is performing his voice for the first time, he still sings very well, or the producers of the two songs are completely different, but the referenced songs and lyrics are similar, so it seems surprisingly similar. Together, there is the current record-breaking phenomenon. Who made this song a patriotic song?
At first, the media were used to saying bad things about Sean. Even when the whole nation supported him, they would still say something like what it might be better to sing in person. But the longer you spend "YouRaiseMeUp" stayed on the billboard, the less confident they became.
"This is a wonderful song, it would be even better if you could change a singer." When "YouRaiseMeUp" airborne the top 100 Billboard list, a newspaper commented like this.
"Shawn sang pretty well, but he obviously deserved a more systematic vocal training." This was a comment from a newspaper five weeks after the top spot.
"He has done the best he can do, and should not be too demanding." This was a comment from a newspaper ten weeks after the top spot.
"A pretty perfect singing, Sean's small shortcomings have become the most attractive part of this song, and this is the emotional singing." This is the 14th week on the list and after most records were settled, a newspaper's comments.
"This is a great song. Whether Sean will release his own music works in the future, he will leave a lot of marks in the history of pop music!" This is a comment from a newspaper after setting a new record.
This shows how integrity of the media is. To be honest, even the New York Post, which is deaf and dumb when encountering this situation, is not as good as the New York Post.
Of course, from Sean's perspective, it's better to have more fence-breasted plants like this.
In short, his reputation in music is almost almost surpassing that in movies. Once, he was invited to participate in a radio program. The other party directly introduced him as a singer, and then praised him for being so outstanding even when he was an actor. His performance in "Dance of Death" was praised, and Sean was so embarrassed.
In addition, people who know him often make fun of him. After all, there are not only actors and singers, but very few may have achieved remarkable achievements at the same time.
In this case, when the Oscar list this year was released, the nomination for the best supporting actor, which was originally called for, was nominated for the best supporting actor, but disappeared. "Dance of Death" only had two nominations for the best actress and the best original script, and Sean became even more embarrassed and depressed.
"They are so disappointing that they can't even give up a small nomination." Sean, who was flipping through the news in his notebook, said half sighing and half complaining.
"This is luck, Sean, not because you performed well. The film school will definitely nominate or even award you." The beauty sitting on the sofa with her apple peeled, said in a calm tone.
She was wearing a long and green dress with her legs half curled up on the sofa, and the curves of her calf were half covered and half exposed, giving a faint sense of seductiveness. Her blonde hair simply tied a bun behind her head, but it could not stop her natural noble and elegant temperament. Who else could Cate Blanchett be?
"Why, are you still talking about your failure to win the award with Elizabeth?" Sean raised his head and asked with a smile.
"No, I'm unlikely to win the award without Gwyneth. Don't forget, I'm an Australian." Kate still peeled the apple indifferently.
Her head was slightly tilted, and the white goose neck was visible at a glance, like an elegant swan, bent her neck and looked at herself in the water quietly, making Sean unable to help but want to go up and kiss her.
So he really did this. Kate didn't dodge, letting his arms around his waist and stamping the lower lip mark on his neck.
"But I heard that winning an award depends more on luck, nomination only requires strength." Sean said this at this time, and then changed the subject with a smile: "What a pity that "Perfect Thieves" was not released last year, otherwise you can definitely participate in the competition with your performance."
"Do you really think so?" Kate, who cut the peeled apples into small pieces and put them in a bowl, finally turned his head and raised his eyebrows. "In my opinion, it's already great to compete for the Golden Globes in music or comedy type awards."
"In fact, this is what I'm talking about," Sean smiled, with a "you're fooled" expression. "If you can compete for the Best Actress in the Music or Comedy category of the Golden Globe Awards, then the previous award ceremony would definitely not be so boring."
Kate rolled his eyes in anger and wanted to stare at him with his hands on his hips, but then he found that Sean was carefully wiping her hands with a tissue, and was dipped in the juice because of peeling the apple.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. He had always been like this, paying great attention to those subtle places and gaining the favor of women.
"Anyway, you're much better than me," Sean shrugged at this time. "You've had a lot of good works before, and I finally performed a solo show in "Sniper Phone Booth", but I couldn't let everyone see it. The result became what it is - a singer? or an actor? This is a question worth considering."
When he talked about the last sentence, he deliberately elongated his voice and brought an aria, as if he was reciting the lines from "Hamlet". At the same time, his face was filled with helplessness, depression, sadness, and sigh, and his expression seemed particularly funny.
His face was too magical, and he showed so many expressions at the same time, which would not be confusing. Even if Kate was mentally prepared, he knew that he was making fun of it, but he still couldn't help but burst out.
"What's wrong, is there any problem?" Sean continued to look innocent.
"Okay, I know you have a good acting skills, but can you not be so funny in front of me!" Kate couldn't help but clench his fists and pressed his knuckles on his head.
"I just want to complain," Sean spread his hands, still maintaining that innocent look. "You know, it's fine if the film school doesn't nominate me, and I'm also invited me to sing "YouRaiseMeUp" at this year's awards party. God, is there anyone among them in their brains?"
"Invite you to sing "YouRaiseMeUp" at the awards ceremony?" Kate couldn't help but open his eyes.
You know, although it is a great honor to be able to sing songs at the Oscars, more than 95% of them are the theme songs of each movie. Although there are one or two other songs, they are basically funny. This song released by Sean, which has comforted countless people who were injured in the disaster last year, can be so valued by the film school, but...
"Yes, it's really... so ironic." Sean grinned and sighed heavily. It wasn't pretending this time.
"Who made you release such a good song," Kate couldn't help but squeeze it, but then comforted him, "But this is also a kind of affirmation to you - what are you going to do?"
Sean raised his head and looked into her eyes. There was a hint of hidden worry in the depths of his gray-blue eyes. He smiled brightly: "Of course I agreed, otherwise what else can I do?"
As he said that, he reached out and grabbed Kate's and patted him gently: "Don't worry, I know what I should do."
Kate didn't say anything anymore, stared at Sean for a while, then woke up and pinched his nose: "By the way, Sean, I might..."
"It's okay, I understand." Sean took the conversation without waiting for her to speak, "Then, it's still the same rule. You leave first, and I'll wait for more than ten minutes before leaving."
